Thistle Bird Feeder Tube - 14 in Copper Finch Feeder 2 Pack

In this review the iBorn Metal Bird Feeder Thistle Tube stands out as a straightforward, durable thistle feeder for backyard finches and small songbirds; the single biggest reason to buy is its all-metal construction and copper brush finish that resists weathering while attracting goldfinches. The reviewer found it easy to fill and maintain thanks to the flip-top lid and transparent seed tube, and its 1.5 lb capacity reduces the need for daily refills. It is a practical choice for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, long-lasting nyjer feeder that looks traditional in the garden.

Key Features

• All-metal construction: The metal top, base, ports and perches provide robust durability and resist rust for long outdoor life.
• Copper brush finish: The antique copper look blends with garden decor while the power-coat helps protect against wear and weather.
• Flip-top refill: A lift-lid makes refilling the transparent seed tube quick and keeps seed access simple and clean.
• 1.5 lb capacity: Holds a substantial amount of nyjer or finch mix so the feeder can go longer between refills.
• Six standing ports: Multiple perches allow several small birds to feed at once, increasing visitor variety at a feeding station.

Who It's For

This feeder is ideal for backyard birders who want to attract goldfinches, finches, chickadees, redpolls and siskins with a dedicated thistle/nyjer tube that is sturdy and low maintenance. It works well for small yards, balconies or larger gardens where a hanging feeder on a branch or pole will be visible to birds and people alike.

It may be less suitable for those who prefer plastic feeders with integrated seed catch trays or for people who need very large-capacity feeders for heavy traffic. If squirrels are a constant problem, additional baffles or placement strategies will be needed since the feeder itself does not include squirrel-proof hardware.

Pros & Cons

Pros
